My Take
Because students are so accustomed to using the QWERTY keyboard and drag and drop feature, students are able to be very productive in a short amount of class time. The templates are attractive and the variety motivates students while encouraging creativity.
How I Use It
Pages easily takes the place of MS Word when using iPads in class. Students are able to create a variety of work using the preloaded templates including posters, flyers, newsletters, resumes and brochures (just to name a few). Pages allows students to create a passcode for their work, which solves the problem of student work being on shared iPads. Cloud-based sharing and AirDrop make submitting work easy.

Its a good product for word processing.
Though its a great product, I found it very difficult to change formats from and to Microsoft word. Changing the file type also brought in change in formatting of the documents. So where as it is good on its own it is not very easy for cross platform usage.

Pages for my Pages!

Pages is more than a word processor - Create products with visual flair!
Pages is a fabulous app for creating and demonstrating quality work for your students. Your students will enjoy it as well. You can simply use it as word processor and/or create amazing model projects for you students. You can also make tables and graphs for math, and/or bring in shapes or pictures. When you bring in pictures, you can label parts of the picture with text boxes. The app also features some advanced writing tools and there are some coaching tips to help you learn about the available features. Like any app, there is a learning curve before you become completely comfortable navigating around. I would suggest that you spend some time exploring before using this app in front of the students. You don't have to be an expert at it though! Your students will start telling you how to use it in no time!
